NiN “Hurt” … Covered again…
If you read my blog much, you probably know that the Downward Spiral is one of the uber important albums in my life. Well today a co-worker sent me a new cover of “Hurt” that’s brilliant. I don’t know who’s version I like best; Trent Reznors for that crazy desperation in his voice, [...]

VON/VONage/VerizON
Well spring Von was last week, and for the first time since I’ve been in the VoIP industry I didn’t attend a VON show. It was ok cuz I hadn’t recieved my new passport yet anyways, and because of Canada’s vast propensity for terrorism I wouldn’t have been allowed into everybody’s favorite xenophobic country. I [...]

Lax Poster!
HAH! No, not that kind of LAX poster… I meant I’ve been a lax poster of blogs the past two weeks. I’ve been busy with work and with Ruth and just haven’t been in bloggieland very much. Time to get back on it tho…so I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled ranting, whining, and [...]

So I’ve been away for a few days to Red Deer and Calgary for my brother’s wedding. I have a new baby sister in law, which means I now have more sisters than brothers. I have a native-Canadian sister, a Japanese sister and now a Black sister. Since Ruth is a Filipino/East Indian, in order [...]

…and that stands for f$& off and die, btw. This post is bound to incite a bit of reaction from my activist friends, but frankly I’m pissed off.
I understand your right to protest. Good on you…it’s needed. Personally I think by protesting the Olympics you’re being stupid and naive. And wasting your time. Do you [...]

Apocalypse Soon?
**NOTE: It may read pessimistic, but it isn’t**
An actual conversation I had the other day with a parent I know:
ME: How’s it going?
THEM: Meh, ok…lots of death and sadness these days. What’s going on with people? Murder here, shooting there, war here, famine there. And now this crazy flu bug…
ME: So…uh…u [...]

OK this pisses me off something fierce. It’s not brand new news, it’s from a few weeks ago, but I haven’t written about it yet. A group of local exotic dancers here in Vancouver run a little event every year to raise money for Breast Cancer research. It’s called Dancers for Cancer [...]

An interesting point…
My friend Megan pointed out that in my post about David Suzuki and Al Gore I made a statement that could be interpreted as a generality and a sweeping accusation against a whole group of people. I said in the post that “The green movement seems to consistently make itself look bad. [...]

That (Annoying?) Vonage Song
One of the search terms to my blog the other day was “Who does the Vonage song?” So I figured I’d post it here. The Vonage song is called, interestingly enough “WooHoo” and it’s by a Japanese band called “The 5,6,7,8’s“. They are a 3 piece all girl band that plays [...]

So I read a couple of different somewhat disturbing articles today. First off, it turns out that Canada’s “Dean of Green” Dr. David Suzuki did a cross country tour recently to promote ecology and green thinking. Great idea, I think. But…it seems him and his entourage of 8 people did this tour [...]

Drive or Fly to Calgary?
So it’s my brother’s wedding in two weeks. Ruth and I will be going and we’re debating whether to rent a car and drive it or to fly. If we drive we need to rent because I only have summer tires on my car, and this time of year the highway could be bare or [...]
